📋 About This Mod
Square Enix recently pushed an update that broke this mod on the Steam release! To my knowledge there is no known fix
for this I can put in the mod file itself yet. Like some other mods, deleting all files in the paks folder that end with _0_P.pak will fix the issue as a temporary band-aid fix with mods broken by the recent update. When I'm aware of a fix I can implement
myself I'll update the mod with it!
THIS IS A BETA RELEASE FOR PEOPLE TO CHECK OUT AND GIVE FEEDBACK.
ONLY THE FIRST & THIRD DISTRICTS ARE PRESENT, AND CAN BE FOUND EXPLORING THE WORLD MAP.
MANY PLANNED FEATURES ARE INCOMPLETE OR MISSING, AND THE MAIN FOCUS
IS ON THE ENVIRONMENT. BUGS ARE PRESENT. READING THIS WHOLE PAGE IS HIGHLY
Beta 3, which brings the Second District and other features, is coming when I can finish it. Recent life circumstances have led to a lot less free time to work on the mod while I get back on my feet, but I'm working on it as I can. View the teaser trailer here.
This is the second beta release of this mod! This mod aims to add Traverse Town from Kingdom Hearts 1 into Kingdom Hearts 3 as a new world. This beta adds in the (mostly) complete First and Third Districts. As well, you can find a tease of Merlin's cave (just the entrance for now!) The map is accessible via the world map (better instructions for getting there down below), with a unique world model. Traverse Town is being entirely rebuilt from the ground up using the Kingdom Hearts 1 map as reference, with brand new models, textures, and more. Assets made in Blender, Substance, Maya, zBrush and Unreal by me. World map blueprinting by Critic! There are some minor tweaks I would like to make to this first release of Beta 2, which will be coming in the next 1-2 weeks.
The end goal for this mod is to add Traverse Town to the game seamlessly, with NPCs, side missions,
bosses and more. At the moment, integrated gameplay features consist of:
-
[]Collectable postcards[/]
[]Naturally spawning enemies[/]
[]Enemy & companion AI/navmeshing functionality[/]
[]Flowmotion integration[/]
[]Field & battle music[/]
[]Moogle & savepoint (WIP)[/]
[]Various interactable objects[/]
[]Gummi ship/World map integration (WIP)[/]
[]Preview DDD Dive Minigame as a postcard completion reward[/]
Some minor models across the Districts are incomplete or missing; these will come soon.
I will be updating this as work continues. This has been over two years of work so far, a
